| Project Title: | City of Keystone Heights Centralized Wastewater System | Date Submitted | 1/14/2003 2:17:46 PM | ||||||
| Sponsors: | Pickens | ||||||||
| Statewide Interest: | |||||||||
| The City of Keystone Heights sits on a high recharge area of the Floridan Aquifer. THe project will provide a centralized treatment facility that will reduce the need for septic tanks, which can potentially become sources of bacteriological contamination in groundwaters, stormwater runoff, lakes, and other surface water bodies. A treatment facility is also more resistant to upset than septic tanks and will provide an effluent that is treated, monitored, regulated and controlled prior to its release to the environment. | |||||||||

| Project Description: | |||||||||
| A municipal central wastewater facility (a comprehensive system for collection, transmission, treatment and disposal of sewage from the non-residential service area). A gravity collection system with pump stations to collect wastewater in the non-residential areas primarily along SR 100 and SR 21 within or adjacent to the City, and pump (through pressure mains) to a wastewater treatment plant and disposal facility equipped with percolation ponds. The proposed wastewater treatment plant is an extended aeration plant which pumps air into the wastewater to 1)remove the nutrients, 2)add chlorine, and 3)send it to the percolation ponds. Cost to build the new wastewater treatment plant at the proposed site, along with the collection and transmission system and treatment disposal, planning, design, surveying, permitting, engineering, administration, and land acquisition, will be approximately $2.712 million. The City will receive a grant in the amount of $2.2 million from the DEP State Revolviing Fund grant program. | |||||||||

| DEP Identfying Number: | WW20023003 | ||||||||
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: | |||||||||
| The project will reduce pollutant loadings to two surface water bodies, Lake Keystone and Lake Geneva as it is an extended aeration treatment plant that reduces organic matter, nutrients, and bacteriological constituents from raw sewage. Expected reductions for total suspended solids and biological oxygen demand range from 85 to 90% and 60 to 80% for nutrient removal. These reductions are achieved through the efficient operation of the treatment plant. | |||||||||
